I made a little bed for a model last week. I was quite displeased to see that a mouse has torn the blanket off and escaped with the mattress. It was glued down nice but it’s gone. Now comes the worst part: when I brought this to my wife’s attention she asked how I knew it was a mouse. I said no way of telling but I’ll go collect some DNA. She then advised me that even mice need a place to sleep. Where’s the justice?

I think that could be the same little maggot. Or quite possibly it’s an organized cartel hunting down tiny beds worldwide. Be on the alert if you make tiny furniture. You could be next.
